General Instructions
Salisbury University’s Department of Political Science Department requires a note and bibliography style for documenting research papers; it is based on the fifteenth edition of The Chicago Manual of Style (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2003).
This style has three parts:
-consecutively numbered citations in the text.
-numbered endnotes.
-a bibliography of works consulted.
Further explanation is below:
-Superscript numbers are used for in-text citations. The number is placed at the end of a sentence after all punctuation.1 (This sentence is an example of the proper placement of a superscript number.)
-Endnotes are placed on a separate page(s) that follows the last page of text. The first page of notes should have the following heading, centered on the page: Notes
-Bibliography of works consulted are placed on a separate page(s) that follows the last page of notes. The first page of the bibliography should have the following heading, centered on the page: Bibliography
